Della Goes Romance that Began
at a Tammany Excursion Fifteen
Years Ago.
Utica Observer.
About fifteen years ago, on board a
dancing barge, when big Tammany
excursion was holding high carnival,
Morris Curran had drank more firewater
than was good for him. He got to fool
ing with some young girls from one of
the upper wards of New York.
II want nice little wife, said he:
(which one of you will have me!''
A misheviOus little miss, whose father
was on board, anchored at the bar,
spoke up that she wanted to take out
her freedom papers, and knew of no
better way to escape her parents than
to get husband.

ran. Here's man who will marry
u.s." and he called to fellow who was
passing. After little more badinage
the Tammany man babe the proposing
partners take hole of hands. He went
over form, and pronounced them man
and wife. Just then the girls father
came up, and there was discovery.
Curran and little Della were married,
sure enOgh, for it was Justice Ledwith,
from Jefferson Market, who had per-
formed the ceremony. A Scrimmage en-
sued, inwhich brOked heads and torn
clothes were conspicuous. The father
hurriedhOme with his child, andearly
next morning sought the Office of Charley
Spencer, the criminal lawyer. A di-
vOrce was obtained, and ten years ago
the girl was married to another man.
But the passage of time brought many
changes. Della, the bride of the barge,
lost her husband she had married in
1877, and in 1887 widow with two little
children and sick father found the
world by no means Tammany picnic.
She worked away with a stout heart.
however, and kept a tidy home for her
helpless family at the top of new fiat
house on the east side. One day she got
thinking how nice it would be if She
could get the care of such a house. A
thousand little janitorial duties the old
father could perform, and she would
hire stout servant for the hard work
She wrote to the afent of the house,
stated her circumstances and wishes,
and signed her whole name, Della COe
DriscOll. Next day pOrtly old fellow
with Santa Claus expression of face
and figure, climbed to her sky parlor.
The pretty little widow colored with ex-
pectatiOn as he told her that he was the
owner of the building.
You are widow, Mrs. Driscoll?" he
said.
II lost my husband years ago.
''Was he your first husband?'
'sWhy yes-certainly-that is" the
little widow stopped as the recollection
of her child-life trouble came across
her. "YOu may have heard-it was in
the papers at the time, and great sor-
row to us all. / was married for fun,
not knowing was being married, when
was only sixteen, to Mr.. Curran.''
''I'm that Mr.. Curran." said the gentle
man, and the widow nearly tainted.
The cOurtship was short, and now Mr..
and Mrs. Curran are spending their
hOnevmOOn at the Branch

DANpIEs I'M PErr1coArs.
Greek Youths Who Wear Inverted
Balloons for Breaches.

Balloons for Brooches.
One OF the biggest surprises in neither
garments the whole world round is worn
by the Grecian dudes one sees on the
streets of Constantinople. Imagine,
says the Pittsburg Commercial, a sky
blue silken balloon, bottom side up and
fastened around the wearers waist, two
neat-fltting leg-holes made in the bulge,
and the whole bulb collapsed and
swaddled about the legs when walking,
and you can imagine the lower story of
Greek dude.
His trunk is enveloped in a tight-ft-
tlng jacket OF some other shade of blue,
with loose flowing sleeves and white fur
Del0Ws showing underneath. His head
is adorned with Greek fez, from which
an enormous black or blue taSSel hangs
down his back. This ornamental ap-
pendage looks as if ever on the eve of
of pulling the fez off the wearer's head
by its great weight. He wears the Or
GiI1ary brOgans and socks and some
times leaves the calves of the legs bare.
Sometimes the Greek dude carries a
cane, but he carries it for use quite as
much as for ornament, or, at all events,
walks with it in buSineiS-like manner.
He walks with gait awkward and I'M
graceful, but even were he a naturally
graceful walker his ungainly neither
garment imparts to him a decidedly
grOtesque appearance.
The chief delight of the Greek dude is
to sit in front of kahvey shop, smoke
nargilehS and watch the ladies pass by.
Those of his own nationality are wear
ing garments but slightly different from
his own, the footholes in the inverted
balloon being nearer the bottom, but
this is about all.

A CLEARING SKY.

The storm is passed, the clouds are blown
S1upOn
Bybreezes strong and fresh from snow-clad
ALPS.
The blue breaks out, the sunshine smites the
clouds.
The dazzling masses fill the morning sky.
Their spotless whiteness, taking loveiiest
shapes
Still hides the mountains from our appraised
eyes
In forms of cloud too lovely to endure.
Winds sway the clouds, their beauty drifts
They part and fold and drift away; but see,
The purest clearest, fairest shape of all.
The Whitest mass in all that dazzling white
Drifts not nor changes, while the cloud mists
fee;
Serene, unmoved, fast anchored in the sky.
1t stands heaven-lit mountain, draped in
snow;
Solid, eternal beautiful as light,
And firmly fixed in beauty as Gods laws.
So cheer thy soul with beauteous thoughts of
God
And truth and right and holiness and love!
Nor fear such thoughts, being fair, cannot
endure,
Or needs must drift and change as fancies
fade.
These truths are firmly based as Gods own
Alps,
And beautiful beyond all poets dreams.
